Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-15
in a lifetime the work o.

graves are scattered all over the State
our hills and mountain glens, oul
caf1ons, valleys and plains are made
sacred by their sepulchre."
Like shadows at the fall of day,
They pass away.
But in the hearts of the Native Sons
their names and their deeds are en-
shrined in golden flames of love anG
admiration and when the last TRUMP
shall have sounded the last pioneer a
home, in that mansion on high, viii
know how love has kept their memory
green.
The speaker then made fervid ref
erence to the pioneer women, they
who braved the dangers OF new lane
to comfort fathers and husbands, sons
and brothers.
"There is now," said the speaker
"a new era dawning for California
that is greeted by every true Native
Son with glad feelings-I refer to the
Eastern invasion of our land. They
come to us breathing an era of peace,
plenty and prosperity; they come te
lend their efforts towards devel'
oping our State, and to every
portion of it's fair domain
they are welcome. Toyou, our Eastern
visitors, the Native Sons of the Golden
West extend a warm welcome, and
though you come from the forests OF
Maine, the throbbing centers of trade
of New York, from the cities of the
Lakes, from the land of the magnolia
from the north, south, east and west,
YOU are welcome to this land of eternal
sunshine,
In conclusion, we, as Native Sons,
realize the fact that the wealth OF a
State depends much upon the charac-
ter of its men; for the nation itself is
only the aggregate of individual civili-
zation, and civilization itself is but a
question of improvement, and while
our State may be rich in mines of gold
and wealth OF agriculture, it will be fan
richer in the possession of useful, in
dustrious honorable Navtive Sons,
We realize the fact that we
stand before the world as rep.
resentative CaliforniAns with the
honor OF a noble ancestry in our keep
ing, and the highest aim of every Ma.
tive Son is to merit the confidence OF
the people of California. To you citi
zens of. San Diego we are greatful
for your confidence, esteem and re-
spect, We realize that you entertain
feelings of high regard for our institu
tions and our order, and for such We
are very grateful. May the efforts o1
your city be touched by the magic
wand of success may prosperity for
ever reign in your midst and may the
eternal God, who guides the welfare o.
our State and Nation, protect and pre-
serve your city until the Heavens
shall fade away and the ocean cease
to flow. May the sunshine of Sar
Diego's glory never fade"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Katz's adj
dress, loud calls were made for Hon.
r. F. Del Valle, President of the Ra-
mona Parlor, who stepped forward
and delivered the best impromptu ad-
dress of his life, completely carrying
his audience away with the magic
eloquence OF the speaker. Senator
Del Vale is an enthusiastic Native
Son, and his heart was in his effort on
this occasion, of which the audience
showed appreciation by the storm Of
applause that greeted his remarks.
After resolutions of sympathy fo1
Governor Bartlett had been adopted
and a benediction by Rev. H. B.
Restarick, the audience adjourned, to
partake of an elegant banquet that
had been prepared by the San Diego
Parlor.
Mrs. Storey, of Coronado Beach,
notified the Native Sons and their
guests that the ferry and motor road
to Coronado Beach was at their SER
vice, and all day long large crowds
visited this wonderful and charming
spot.
In the evening charming ball
closed the festivities of the day.
Saturday was spent in yacht
ing trips to Lower California and
fraternal visits. Saturday even
ing Mrs. w. w. Stewart gave dane
ing party to a number of Native Sons.
Messrs. H. j. Fleishman, G. G. Schu-
macher, A. Ramish, J. H. Schumach-
er, j. H. Brenner, G. E. Rowan, Jr.
and Homer G. Katz represented the
Los Angeles delegation. Sunday even
ing the majority of the delegation re-
turned home. The scene at the depot
in San Diego was very animated as
the Los Angeles boys were leaving the
hospitable city OF San Diego. Speeches
were made, songs were sung, cheers
given for everything and everyone
and the train pulled out, heavily laden
with we'll satisfied excursionists.
NOTES.
San Diego is certainly booming, her
street being thronged with people.
The Pioneers went down in force.
Mr.. E. German represented the
Board of Trade.
The boys were compelled to double
up in the Pullman sleeper on the way
home owing to the insufficiency Of
sleeping quarters, an unfortunate mis-
take having been made by the rail
road company in sending down an en-
igrant sleeper in place of Pullman.
Meme Brothers Band honored Los
Angeles by the excellence of their
music. Finer music has never been
heard anywhere. Their open-air con-
cert was listened to by the largest
crowd ever seen in San Diego.
When Los Angeles celebrates Adj
mission Day the boys will have to
work hard to reciprocate the atten-
tions they received in San Diego.
